Forge is committed to safeguarding the confidentiality and secrecy entrusted to us by our clients.
A fully executed, non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is recommended for implementation during the initial stages of the engagement. Forge prefers the use of our client’s NDA document to better address unique concerns and sensitivities. A Forge NDA document is available upon request. Forge accepts full responsibility for its employees’ and subcontractors, as determined by the NDA and related agreements.
Confidentiality breaches are a serious matter, and it is best to prevent them in the first place. A proactive discussion dedicated to confidentiality is not only welcomed but encouraged if any sensitivities exist and/or arise. In the event a conflict of interest is acknowledged, and upon approval of the client, Forge may establish a firewall – (limiting access to consultants without conflict of interest).
